Every woman wants to look her best, and we all look better with healthy-looking skin that’s smooth, supple and fresh. Whether we’re 40, 50, or 70; gray or double processed buttery blonde, age defiant or age accepting, we know that growing older changes our skin, the way we have to care for it, and the cosmetics we use.

We also know that what once worked for us may not address the new skincare concerns we have. Finding the right products can be frustrating, though. Is Obagi better than Olay Regenerist? Is Lancôme Renergie going to do the trick or do I need to go for Retin A?

Lois Joy Johnson was a Beauty & Fashion Director for over 24 years (10 years for More magazine and 14 years for Ladies’ Home Journal.

Now 60, Lois’ career and personal experience has given her a deep knowledge of the anti-aging cosmetic landscape. She has tested countless products on models, celebrities, and thousands of real women at every stage of life.

Paired with the secrets she learned from Hollywood makeup artists and celebrity dermatologists, she knows what works for women of all skin types and ages.


Facing a wall of products — some with very big price tags — it’s natural to feel frustrated while you wonder where to spend your money, and which is right for your specific skin type. We’ve all had the experience of believing in the latest miracle cure — often with a scientific sounding explanation — only to find that we’ve paid top dollar for an anti-aging skin product that just doesn’t work.

Research helps, but who can give you honest answers to questions like:

  • Why there is no “one-size-fits-all” answer to the question, “Which skin and skin-enhancing makeup products work best?”
  • Whether it’s more effective to use a hodge-podge collection of products or one regimen from the same brand of anti-aging skin products?
  • How many products do you really need for beautiful skin?
  • Can any anti-wrinkle face creams really match dermatological procedures like Botox or injectable fillers?

Discover why thousands of women have become enthusiastic online visitors to VibrantNation.com

Every day, more members and contributors at VibrantNation.com contact us with their enthusiastic praise for our growing online community of women over 50.

Here’s a sampling of what some of them have said recently:

Finally! — a website for me and women like me!

“A website just for ME and women like ME! I work for an insurance company – my manager is my son-in-law’s age – and my co-workers average 24-28 yrs. old. It’s wearying always being ‘one of them,’ even though I’m a young 54. Because of workplace competition and trying to always be ‘on top of my game,’ I come home exhausted. I value my young co-workers and friends…but oh how refreshing to find a website with people just like ME! Whew! Thank you for being here!”

Delighted to join

“Found this website on Facebook and am delighted to join. It is always great to have the support of others on the journey through mid-life!”
Reply from Jazzy: I’ve found the women on this site 2 b warm, informative, caring, understanding and insightful.”

I am a new member, I am glad to meet all of these beautiful wise women!

“I too am a brand new member to this site and also amazed at all the lovely women and the wise (and sometimes funny) advice. I’ve already learned so much and finally feel that I am not the only one going through or dealing with life in my 50′s!”

Sex for post-menopausal women

“YOU ARE GREAT… I HAVE NOT laughed this hard in a long time. My husband is looking at me and asking… what is going on w/the computer?”

On VN, women share themselves as they really are

“I think there is something about this site that invites women to honestly share their experience. I’ve learned more about aging from personal testimonials than I’ve ever seen in actual contact with women my age. It’s like there is some magic ingredient that invites women to represent themselves as they really are.”

It’s so much easier talking here – I don’t have to be careful what I say

“This is the first time I have joined a site like this and I find the women on here the most intelligent and thoughtful people. We are talking about real life problems and there are always others who have experienced the same troubles. It is so much easier talking here about life’s events and hurts than across the kitchen table to someone you know who doesn’t want to listen. Here I don’t feel like I have to be careful what I say or what someone might tell someone after. So many people who know us are secretly pleased to know everything isn’t perfect in our lives either.”

VN versus Therapy

“I felt like I had all these women in my kitchen like a circle of wise women.”
